In sum: Don't fall for these big lies -- Obama wants
to extend the Bush tax cut "only for some people," small businesses
will be badly hit, businesses won't hire because of uncertainty this
proposal would create, or the Clinton-era tax levels crippled the
economy.

A ton of corporate and billionaire money is behind
these lies and others like them, as well as formidable mouthpieces of
the regressive right such as Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal editorial page.

The truth is already a casualty of this election year. That's why it's so important for you to spread it.
